What does TOG rating mean for socks?
Thermal Overall Grade
TOG means Thermal Overall Grade. It is a scientific test that measures the thermal (heat retaining) capacity of fabric. Heat Holders® ORIGINAL™ thermal socks, when tested using this standard, rate TOG 2.34*. This is 7x warmer than cotton socks and almost 3x warmer than ordinary thermal socks!
What is the warmest TOG rating for socks?
Meanwhile, Heat Holders® LITE and ULTRA LITE socks have a TOG rating of 1.6 and 1.0, respectively – scores that are competitively warmer than ordinary thermal socks that have an average TOG rating of 0.89.
How to calculate TOG rating?
Tog is measured by applying heat to one side of a fabric and measuring the heat flow to the other side. The tog value of a down duvet is equal to ten times the temperature difference between its two sides (in degrees Celsius) when the flow of heat across it is equal to one watt per m².
What is the unit TOG?
TOG stands for ‘Thermal Overall Grade’, which is a unit of measurement used to calculate the thermal insulation of a product, usually in the textile industry. Our sleep garments are given a TOG rating according to the warmth they provide. Basically the higher the TOG, the warmer the product.
Are tog ratings accurate?
Tog Rating and How to Dress Your Baby Knowing a Tog rating of a baby sleeping bag is a good start in knowing how to dress your baby for sleep. However, bear in mind that even though two different branded baby sleeping bags may have the exact same Tog rating, it does not mean they will provide the exact same warmth.
Is 7.5 tog enough for winter?
Summer: Between 1.5 and 4.5 tog. Spring & winter: Between 7.5 and 10.5 tog. Winter: Starting at 10.5 but typically 12 or higher. Winter duvets are rated at 12 tog or higher.
What is a high tog rating?
Put simply, the higher a material’s tog rating, the more heat that it will retain, and the better it will be as an insulating material. Therefore, in the case of a flooring underlay, the tog rating refers to the difference in temperature between the top and bottom layers.
What is a tog rating for gloves?
2.3 Tog rating – measures the thermal ability of a garment. Standard thermal glove is usually 0.89 Tog.
What is a good carpet tog rating?
According to research from the Underfloor Heating Manufacturers Association (UHMA) and advice from The Carpet Foundation, you should be looking for a combined tog rating of less than 2.5 for your carpet and underlay for underfloor systems to operate efficiently.
Are TOG ratings accurate?
What is a TOG chart?
TOG stands for Thermal Overall Grade, which is a standard unit of measurement to indicate a garment’s thermal insulation. The above chart will tell you exactly which TOG rating is appropriate for particular room temperatures, as well as what to layer under the garment when dressing your baby.
What TOG is 21 degrees?
Room at 17-21 degrees: Use a 2.5 tog with a cotton bodysuit. Room at 22 to 25 degrees: Use a lightweight 1.5 tog with a cotton bodysuit. Room above 25 degrees: Use a 0.5 tog sheet or muslin bag and a short-sleeved bodysuit. These are ideal for very hot weather and summer holidays abroad.
Which is the best underlay for underfloor heating with carpet?
The Duralay Heatflow for wood & laminate flooring is also ideal for use with engineered wood floors with underfloor heating. Which underlay is the best for underfloor heating with carpet? The best underfloor heating underlay for carpet is Tredaire King. Its low tog rating allows efficient heat transfer through your carpet and into your home.
What does a low tog rating mean for underfloor heating?
It’s the thermal resistance of an underlay. The lower the tog rating of a product, the lower its thermal resistance is. Having a low thermal resistance means that more warmth can pass through the underfloor heating underlay and into your home.
How does Duralay heatflow work for underfloor heating?
Duralay Heatflow is a low-tog underlay specially designed for use with underfloor heating. With a thermal resistance of 0.75 togs and a sound impact reduction value of 31db, this carpet underlay will soften the sound of footsteps and help suppress noise transference.
What should I look for in an underfloor heating system?
If you opt for Hydronic or Forced Air underfloor heating there are two main considerations when it comes to selecting your underlay. The first thing you will need to think about is the tog rating of the underlay.
